The game took place on Sunday afternoon, where the Liberty managed to maintain their lead throughout, despite a determined fourth-quarter effort from the Lynx. Breanna Stewart, a two-time Most Valuable Player, was instrumental in the win, contributing 21 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and setting a WNBA Finals record with seven steals. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton also played a key role, scoring 20 points after a quieter performance in Game 1, where she only managed five points.
